Default WindRestrictor air deflector for convertible

I'd like to hear from anyone who has used one

Does it work well at reducing turbulence?

I have one in my C6.Does a great job at reducing the turbulence but it will rub the seat if I position my seat all the way back.Don't know if this is an issue for the C5.

It is an issue in the C5. It cuts the wind by about half. That is the one I have in my car. Did blue LED.

I have one in my 03 vert. I like it OK but my wife and I decided we like the top up at highway speeds so I took it out.
It worked OK but there was still a lot of turbulence.
Knowing what I know now I wouldn't buy it again.

I have the one with the tube frame, clear lexan and is the same height behind both seats. It does cut the turbulence down at lowers speeds, it is easy to store in the trunk at mentioned at highway speeds my wife still likes the top up, but for secondary roads it works well.

I got one from Mid America, straddled the seats and mesh in the middle it was cheap, though you need the seats with the hole in the headrest, they
make a big difference
